34 ACM Turing Award winners from the last 50 years and world-renowned computer scientists and technology pioneers discuss Turing's legacy and his impact on their work

Moderated panels and invited talks on how computing has changed our world

Reception June 15 to follow program events.

WHY: The computing community celebrates Alan Turing's legacy 100 years after his birth. By pondering whether machines can think, Turing created the foundation for startling innovations that have changed our world: programmable computers, mobile devices, cryptology, artificial intelligence, robotics, genomics, and the philosophy of science. Through his genius, the notion of computers exceeding human intelligence has inspired researchers and realists throughout the world since the 1940s, and laid the foundation of today's always-on, interconnected world.

About the ACM A.M. Turing AwardThe A.M. Turing Award http://amturing.acm.org was named for Alan M. Turing, the British mathematician who articulated the mathematical foundation and limits of computing. Since its inception in 1966, the Turing Award has honored the computer scientists and engineers who created the systems and underlying theoretical foundations that have propelled the information technology industry.
